This song can seem like so many things thanks to the beautiful imagery coursing through it, and I too have my own interpretation.
It may sound odd but I think this is a battle within a person, in this case a woman. I think she's facing a time in her life where she feels like she must grow up and hide away the inner child that everyone has within them. To me at least I think this is something she's doing to the wrong extent, almost as if as she grows up she buries those childish feelings thinking that they are wrong, even though that may not be the case.
The 'labyrinth walls' are where she's trapped the 'child' within herself, and when she mentions setting her free, it's about any potential lovers who may try to bring out that more childish side that she's buried inside herself.
Towards the end of the song, the main character seems to regret suppressing her inner child and seems to lose a piece of herself, mentioning 'for I see what I destroy'. She finally sees that all along she has been hurting herself emotionally, as she says 'sweet reflection knife into me' she sees what she's done and how she can't reverse her actions - she can't regain her inner child.
